Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) has released the data according to which immigration to Germany has increased around 40% in 2012.Crisis in the euro zone had a huge impact on the movement of workers in Europe and beyond. According to the data, within five years i.e. from 2007 to 2012 people coming from overseas to Germany for employment has increased to 72% constituting approximately 400,000, where as it was fallen to 60% in Spain and 73% in Ireland over the period.
